My RSS Feeds

Ok, a bit ago, I was looking for some RSS feeds. I was hoping that I would come across some real good feeds from those on a couple planets. I was in the hunt for tech/geek/Linux/FLOSS feeds. I found a few, and I'm happy with the results thus far, even though, I'm still very much on the hunt for good RSS reading.

But, first things first. I am no longer using Liferea for my RSS reader. There are a couple of reasons for this, which are just my opinion. First, I prefer web-based applications to installed binaries in just about every case. If I can reduce the memory consumption on my machine, and place it on some centralized server, I'm all over it. Second, synchronizing my feeds between multiple computers is a pain with Liferea, and I'm sure most other RSS apps. If I add feeds while at work, then I need to make sure that I export the feeds, so I can import them into my feedreader at home. If I forget, then I seem to build a completely different list at home than I do at work, and that's annoying.

Really, that's it. So, I switched to Bloglines for my feed reading. First, being a web developer, I already have my browser open testing my app. Second, the ability to add new feeds, and be able to read them regardless of my location is sweet. No more headaches. At any rate, here are my feeds that I have currently settled on. Remember, I'm looking for good tech/geek/Linux/FLOSS feeds, so if you know any...

I used Liferea back in the day too, then tried Bloglines for awhile. But what I've been using for about a year now is Sage, the Firefox plugin. It looks nice, works pretty slick, and coupled with the Google Browser Sync, I can't lose. Whenever I setup a new computer, all I have to do is go download Sage and Browser Sync and I am in business in minutes!

Thanks for this post Aaron.
I personally use google reader.
It would be great if you could get the rest of the planet's talking heads to post a) their reader of preference and b) what feeds they personally subscribe to.
I hope that doesn't violate some special terms of being an Ubuntu Planeteer
But it would be cool to know what Mark , Fabian, Herman, Jeff and all the others read on a regular basis.
Thanks and keep up the great work.

nesohu- Bloglines has many advanced features that aren't yet implemented in Google Reader. Also, as you mentioned, there is no search in Google Reader, which is a major drawback. Bloglines is just superior.

[...] In my last post, I published the feeds that I read and the reader that I was using to read my feeds, namely Bloglines. Well, Bloglines wasn’t really “cutting” it for me, so I was still on the lookout for a good web-based RSS reader. After having tried many RSS desktop applications for my reading, mainly, Thunderbird, Sage in Firefox, Liferea, Straw, Akregator, and even FeedBurner, NewsGator and SharpReader in Windows, and a few web-based RSS apps, namely Google Reader, Bloglines and FeedLounge, I’ve come to the conclusion that all RSS readers suck.
